Kinetic and structural roles for the surface in guiding SAS-6 self-assembly to direct centriole architecture

Pierre Gönczy, Georg Fantner, Georgios Hatzopoulos, Adrian Pascal Nievergelt, Niccolo Banterle, Santiago Harald Andany, Charlène Cécile Geneviève Brillard

Discovering mechanisms governing organelle assembly is a fundamental pursuit in biology. The centriole is an evolutionarily conserved organelle with a signature 9-fold symmetrical chiral arrangement of microtubules imparted onto the cilium it templates. Th ...

Time-Resolved Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy for Three-Dimensional Tracking of Nanoscale Cell Surface Dynamics

Aleksandra Radenovic, Georg Fantner, Daniel Constam, Alexandre Louis André Persat, Barney Frederick Drake, Adrian Pascal Nievergelt, Vytautas Navikas, Samuel Mendes Leitão, Xavier Jean-Yves Pierrat, Charlène Cécile Geneviève Brillard

Nanocharacterization plays a vital role in understanding the complex nanoscale organization of cells and organelles. Understanding cellular function requires high-resolution information about how the cellular structures evolve over time. A number of techni ...

An atomic force microscope integrated with a helium ion microscope for correlative nanoscale characterization

Georg Fantner, Santiago Harald Andany, Charlène Cécile Geneviève Brillard

In this work, we report on the integration of an atomic force microscope (AFM) into a helium ion microscope (HIM). The HIM is a powerful instrument, capable of imaging and machining of nanoscale structures with sub-nanometer resolution, while the AFM is a ...

Large‐Range HS‐AFM Imaging of DNA Self‐Assembly through In Situ Data‐Driven Control

Alireza Karimi, Georg Fantner, Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings, Adrian Pascal Nievergelt, Christoph Manuel Kammer, Eva Eugene Kurisinkal, Charlène Cécile Geneviève Brillard

Understanding hierarchical self-assembly of biological structures requires real time measurement of the self-assembly process over a broad range of length- and timescales. The success of high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) in imaging small scale mo ...

Photothermal Off-Resonance Tapping for Rapid and Gentle Atomic Force Imaging of Live Cells

Georg Fantner, John McKinney, Adrian Pascal Nievergelt, Haig Alexander Eskandarian, Charlène Cécile Geneviève Brillard

Imaging living cells by atomic force microscopy (AFM) promises not only high-resolution topographical data, but additionally, mechanical contrast, both of which are not obtainable with other microscopy techniques. Such imaging is however challenging, as ce ...
